"I learned to show respect"
One of the most important things I learned at camp was how to show respect — both to myself and to others. I also learned how to dress and carry myself properly, especially when preparing for interviews. These lessons may seem simple, but they made me realize how much presentation and respect matter in life. I know I’ll take these lessons with me wherever I go.- Your Name

"I gained the confidence"
The camp taught me something very important: to respect myself and to believe in my voice. I learned to speak up and ask for what I need, instead of staying quiet. I also realized that there is nothing wrong with me — that I have strengths, and I should never think less of myself. Through Better Steps, I gained the confidence to advocate for myself and see the value in who I am.

"I learned to present myself"
I learned that advocating for yourself is not something to be ashamed of — it’s something to be proud of. At camp, I discovered that needing extra support doesn’t make me any less than anyone else. I am not different from others just because I learn in a different way. I also learned how to dress respectfully and present myself with confidence. The camp helped me see that I have a voice and that I belong.

"This camp truly helped me grow"
I joined Season 4 of Better Steps Life Skills Camp, and it became such a meaningful
experience for me. I learned practical lessons like budgeting and saving, but the
most important thing I discovered was how to communicate with others. Before the camp, I didn’t like to talk at all — I was very shy and often kept to myself. Through the activities and encouragement from the staff and my peers, I slowly found my voice. Now I feel more confident in speaking up and sharing my thoughts. This camp truly helped me grow, and I would love to join again in the upcoming Career Camp with
Better Steps Life Skills.

"I gained important business skills"
I have been part of the Life Skills Camp from Season 1 through Season 4, and every
year has given me something new and valuable. I learned how to start a business and what it really takes to be an entrepreneur. I gained important business skills that
I know I will use in the future. One of the biggest lessons I took away was about self-advocacy. Speaking up for myself was never easy, but the camp gave me the tools and confidence to do it. The most powerful thing I learned was discovering the career path I want to follow. That knowledge gave me direction and hope for my future. I am truly thankful for everything Better Steps has given me, and I would love to continue joining more camps.

"This program gave me confidence"
At camp, I learned the importance of connecting with people. I had the chance to interact with new friends, build relationships, and work as part of a team.
Before, I often felt nervous about making friends, but the camp showed me how much easier it can be when you share activities and goals together. I also began to understand what type of career I might want to pursue. This program gave me confidence and
helped me take the first steps toward my future.
